The Pakistan Army on Thursday successfully foiled a terrorist attack on a checkpost near the FC camp in South Waziristan, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) killing 10 terrorists.
The forces engaged in heavy gunfire against the terrorists following a loud explosion in Jandola. After the security forces bravely repulsed the terrorist attack, a suicide bomber blew himself up in a vehicle.
Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi paid tribute to the security forces for repulsing the attack and killing the terrorists. He said that the nation was standing by the security forces to eliminate the terrorism from the country.
The latest attack came only a day after security forces killed all 33 attackers who had hijacked the Jaffar Express train in Balochistan’s Bolan and held passengers hostages in the mountainous region.
The militants blew up the rail tracks and opened fire on the Jaffar Express as it made its way to Peshawar from Quetta, the capital of mineral-rich Balochistan, taking hostage several of the 440 passengers aboard.
The Baloch Liberation Army (BLA) had claimed responsibility for the attack, in which 21 hostages were killed and four security troops martyred.
